RUMOR: Fantastic Four Reboot in Danger, Josh Trank May Be Out (Was High, Broke Sets)?

But the rumor is he was high and trashed a set. Which is non-news. Because so many directors have stories like this and they don't get a thread every single time gossip about them acting like assholes comes out. I mean its so much non-news there wasn't any real film sites that posted this.
Not that the movie is in danger of not coming out (a movie that finished filming) or that his career is over. Anyone who speculates a directors career is over because of on-set behavior doesn't pay attention to this industry. What matters is if their films make money. Directors can even snort coke all they want and act insane if they release movies that make money (Hello Martin Scorsese).
The OP is just pure over the top speculation worded as if its a real rumor.

And why do you think selling off the Spider-Man film rights back to Marvel are off the table for Sony? Sony Pictures is in a bad place but Spider-Man is still their highest performer. In addition, Sony has always been more willing to work with Marvel which is why Marvel gives Spider-Man a more prominent place than X-Men and Fantastic Four at the moment. X-Men would probably be in the same position that Fantastic Four is if the former was not still one of Marvel's more popular franchises, even if they've been hitting homers with the characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
They aren't gonna sell off Spidey completely, they're letting Marvel make the movies & get a cut of the profits assuming this deal is reached. Given how little profit TASM2 made, it'll only go downhill from here if nothing changes over at Sony Pictures. When a talking raccoon makes more money than Spider-Man, you need to reevaluate what he hell you're doing.

95% sure this is an inside job by Disney.

It's a rumor, so don't get your hopes up just yet.

Marvel needs to work out a deal with Fox where they get shared rights to Doom, Galactus, and Silver Surfer.
At least give us that.

It'd be smart for Disney to make threatening noises at anyone who's going to direct an FF movie at all, really.
Since the hype bar for this movie is so low already I would give it one Cardiac out of 10 Green Goblins on the Spider-Man scale.

We don't live in a vaccuum, the only reason this interests you is because of the potential return of the rights back to Marvel and its impact on the MCU.

Wanted for questioning:
Nah
True funnies would be movie turning out good.
Keep FF away from Marvel
Fox definitive Marvel studios with superior X-men AND FF movies compared to bland fuck marvel studios movies
Agreed on the last front. They had a very amazing threat for the X-Men that raised the stakes well enough.
Then again, Fox has done some really terrible X-Men movies (the entire Wolverine line) and the 2 Fantastic Four movies... they're batting at slightly below .500

I agree on the first part but COME ON. Is the petty anti fanboyism really necessary?
If anything I'm just sad that the F4 has to be neglected across different mediums ( movies, comics, and tv) because of this and would like the rights to revert just to make the F4 relevant again. It's definitely like bitter divorcees going at it with F4 being the hurt neglectful child. It's just sad.

I'm sad for you
You smear shit on it,
I bet it's easier than trashing your fucking lights!
What a insightful drive-by shit post.
They wrapped this turd back in Aug anyway, so this has about as much chance of being true as this movie being good.
